Airfix - 1804 Steam Loco
(A05871)
Richard Trevithick was a young engineer but was
responsible for one of the most important of all
inventions - the first steam locomotive. In 1795, when
he was only 25 years old, Trevithick was building
working models of high-pressure steam engines. Cornish
tin and Welsh coal miners used his early engines to
power carts from 1800, and, in 1804 his first steam
locomotive, the Penydarren, was unveiled and ran at the
heart-stopping speed of 5 m.p.h. The most revolutionary
feature of Trevithick's 1804 locomotive was the fact
that it had smooth wheels operating on smooth metal
rails. Until Trevithick's achievement, engineers has
said it was impossible to run an engine on non-geared
track, but he had proved them wrong and the golden era
of the steam locomotive had begun.

Airfix - Paddle Steam Engine (A08870)
Although conceived as early as 1785, the oscillating
cylinder engine did now appear until 1827 when Joseph
Maudslay (1801-1861) unveiled this example. This was one
of the most popular marine engines in the paddle
steamers of the nineteenth century and in 1828 this type
of engine was fitted to the Thames Paddle Steamer
'Endeavour' which plied between London and Richmond
until 1840. This fascinating kit has moving parts
and shows the wonderful movement of this classic
Victorian engine.

Airfix - Vostok 1 Space Rocket
- Kit (A05172)
One of the most
successful space designs ever, the initial flight of the Vostok which carried
the first human being into space was launched on 12th April 1961. Vostok 1,
carrying cosmonaut Yury A. Gagarin, made a single orbit of Earth before
re-entry.
The Vostok series included six launchings over a two-year period. The final two
missions in June 1963 by Vostok 5, followed two days later by Vostok 6, carrying
Valentina V. Tereshkova, the first woman in space, were notable in that the two
spacecraft travelled at times only 3 miles (4.8 km) apart, setting the stage for
future space dockings between orbiting vehicles.

Airfix - TSR.2 & Stratos 4 - 1:72
(A08011)
In the second millennium the Earth has
been exposed to the menace of approaching comets. To
prevent the disaster by comet impact, the earth is
protected by the TSR.2MS interceptor aircraft from a
ground-based "Meteor Sweeper" group. She is lifted off
by ZELL (Zero-length launch) like a surface-to-air
missile, flying to mid-altitude using two jet engines
and rockets equipped under the wings. She locks onto a
meteorite and destroys it with a big missile.
This is the story of the Stratos 4 series from Japan –
this is aircraft based on the TSR.2 with added parts for
the science-fiction TSR.2MS interceptor.
The original TSR.2 model can also be built from this kit
and it includes decals for the iconic prototype aircraft
from the 1960s.
